Taylor Momsen – Momsen Clears Up Rihanna ‘Misquote’
Remember our post where Taylor Momsen was quoted as saying,
“People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna’s wearing f**king leather jackets, and it’s really annoying”.
The 17 year old is adamant she never meant to cause offence to the Bajan beauty.
Momsen tells Britain’s T4,
“First of all I’d like to say that quote was spun… it’s a misquote. I was arguing the difference between rock versus pop and it’s a very pop-oriented world at the moment. There is no rock and the people who dress or have guitars in their music… (for) audiences that’s the closest thing they have to rock right now.“We’re looking to bring back a real rock band and Rihanna – I wasn’t insulting Rihanna. Rihanna’s great. (Eminem collaboration Love the Way You Lie) is awesome. That’s a great song.”

Rihanna Turns In A Spectacular Performance At Hersheypark Stadium
Pop sensation Rihanna made her first appearance at Hersheypark Stadium on Saturday night, and boy, was it a memorable one.
Even beforehand, fans seemed to have an inkling of the spectacular performance she would turn in, but it wasn’t for the faint of heart.
Speaking of the Barbados-born singer’s treatment at the hands of then-boyfriend Chris Brown, Samara Brooks, 16, of Harrisburg, said: “She got right back up. She fought back for it through her music.”
“She has a point to her music, it relates to her life,” said Tiffanie Stickel, 18, of Middletown. “Her music is how she expresses herself.”
Was it ever.
Rihanna, now with a blazing-red cropped ‘do, is supporting her latest, last year’s “Rated R,” which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s album charts. The show was a reflection of her personal strife, deeply personal, raw and even ugly.
As much known for her eye-popping wardrobe as for her music, she rose from the stage in a black gown illuminated by red LED lights to sing a powerful “Russian Roulette,” her band wailing behind her huge voice and dancers swirling around her.
For “Hard,” she took a dramatic and militaristic stance, the dancers carrying mock guns, the band crushingly heavy. She wound up atop a hot-pink painted tank wearing a helmet bearing Mickey Mouse ears. Her gown had been replaced by a broad-shouldered pale pink bodysuit.
A wicked take on “Shut Up and Drive” was set off by break dancers and the stellar guitar work of lead player Nuno Bettencourt of the 1980s metal band Extreme. If anyone was expecting anything lightweight from Rihanna, she was having none of it.
An impassioned “Fire Bomb” was followed by an intense “Disturbia,” Rihanna doing battle with fearsome monsters (stilt-walking dancers costumed to look like red-eyed fiends). “Rock Star” was sexually charged, potent and stirring. She spat out the lyrics and riffed on a jet-black flying V guitar as if her good fortune was a curse.
And she displayed a lovely growl in her voice during “Rude Boy,” which bore musical hints of her island roots.
For her latest chart-topper, an acoustic take on the controversial duet with Eminem “Love the Way You Lie,” she sat atop the tank, this time with her band, in a segment that also included a portion of the hit by B.O.B., “Airplanes.”
She was wonderful on the low notes and was obviously enjoying herself immensely, smiling all the while. It was a fabulous quiet moment in a very intense show, and it continued with a piano-based take on “Rehab.”
Rihanna delivered more than a rock show. It was theater, performance art, whatever you care to call it. A young fan summed it up perfectly beforehand.
“She’s really an individual; she always brings something new to the table,” said Abby Orons, 12, of Colonial Park, who attended the show with friends Kylie Murphy and Bailey Karnish, also 12.

Shontelle Teases Studio Time With Rihanna
Shontelle has revealed that she has been in the recording studio with Rihanna.
In an interview with Digital Spy, the 25-year-old put rumours of a rivalry with her fellow Barbadian star to rest.
“People want to make us enemies so bad and we just laugh about it because we’re like ‘I don’t get it’,” she said. “We are two girls from Barbados who are just so excited about the fact that we come from this small island that so many people didn’t even know existed until Rihanna broke out.
Now we recently made history where we had two artists from Barbados in the top ten at the same time – and that has never happened ever in history, not even from any country outside the US.
So we’re so excited that our little island is making such great waves, you know. I mean we just love it and we’ve recently been in the studio together and we just keep laughing like ‘Wow, we’re rivals but yet we’re working together’.”
However, Shontelle remained coy when asked what the pair were working on.
“This is where I get to tease you now!” she laughed. “Yeah, recently I’ve been in the studio with Rihanna and we have some fun stuff that we’re working on and we’ll definitely be giving you guys some further details at a later date.”
She added:
“Hopefully that should relax anyone that thinks that we are some sort of rivals.”

Rihanna’s Meaning To “Rebelle Fleur” – “That’s How Her Mom Sees Her”
Rihanna chose to have the French words ‘rebelle fleur’, meaning rebel flower, inked onto her neck because “that’s how her mum sees her”, according to her favourite New York tattoo artist Bang Bang. He branded her skin with the phrase during the singer’s recent visit to the Big Apple.
The tattoo is actually incorrectly spelled and should be written “Fleur Rebelle” instead of “Rebelle Fleur”, on that many people bother. Wierd people…
